Set up your system
5. Tilt and swivel the light to the position you prefer.
Aim your light to detect motion
When positioning your light, keep these tips in mind:
Keep active locations in the detection zone. Position your light so that the
space that you want to monitor is within the motion detection zone.
Elevate your light. Mount your security light least 7 feet (2 meters) above the
floor or the ground and aim it slightly downward (at an angle of at least 15
degrees) for the best sensor performance.
Make sure that side-to-side trac crosses the detection zone. Arlo’s
motion sensor is much more sensitive to side-to-side movement across its field
of view than to movement directly toward or away from the light. The best area
for motion detection is 5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters) from the light position.
Use the motion detection test. You can use the motion detection test to
verify that the light detects motion in a specific area. For information about the
motion detection test, see Test motion detection on page 9.
